The Strongest Prodigy Doctor

However, Ye Tianfan didn't care about this alleyway welcome, and he even found this operation somewhat repulsive, so he hastily dealt with the mayor and then returned to his previous inn.

Ye Tianfan also declined the shopkeeper's invitation to eat, choosing instead to go straight back to his room and meditated all night to restore his spiritual power.

At the break of dawn, Ye Tianfan opened his eyes; by now, his spiritual power had fully recovered.

After waking up, Ye Tianfan didn't leave the room immediately. Instead, he opened the window, placed some silver taels on the table to cover his expenses for the past few days, and then summoned the Carefree Sword, flying out through the window.

Ye Tianfan no longer wanted to stay here; he wanted to quickly find the Tree Grandmother and fulfill the Turtle Shell Maiden's wish for her.

A hundred kilometers would take several days for ordinary people, but for a cultivator, it was just a moment's work.

Before long, Ye Tianfan arrived at the forest mentioned by the Turtle Shell Maiden.

Ye Tianfan descended and decided to walk into the forest since he wasn't in a hurry; this approach felt better.

So Ye Tianfan found a place that seemed to be the entrance and stepped inside.

Shortly after entering, Ye Tianfan sensed that he seemed to have fallen into a maze array.

Of course, this wasn't the kind of maze array that involves illusion techniques.

Although Ye Tianfan couldn't summon the Illusory Fire at this moment, he was pretty much immune to illusion techniques and wouldn't fall for them unless the person casting it was extremely powerful. Otherwise, with Ye Tianfan owning the Illusory Fire, any illusion technique in the world was just a cloud to him.

Ye Tianfan realized that the maze he was trapped in wasn't fueled by high spiritual power but was a physical maze, composed of plants and structures arranged to easily mislead people.

Ye Tianfan recognized he was in a maze because he noticed a small tree with leaves half-withered, and he had seen three such trees in front of him, with identical withered parts, which made him suspicious these trees had been repositioned by someone.

"Tree Grandmother, I'm a friend of the Turtle Shell Maiden. He has some matters and couldn't come, so he asked me to check on you!" Ye Tianfan, having no other choice, shouted loudly as he was here to meet someone, not to fight, and didn't intend to destroy the trees.

"I don't believe it! Little Turtle always comes in person; she wouldn't send someone else." Just after Ye Tianfan finished speaking, he heard this reply.

Hearing this, Ye Tianfan's mouth twitched twice involuntarily.

Little Turtle? What kind of name is that, and who uses such a title?

"Indeed, Little Turtle asked me to come. I ran into her in Huo Rong Town earlier. She's currently entangled with some issues and couldn't come herself, so she entrusted me, as I was passing by, to check on you!" Ye Tianfan explained.

"I still don't believe it. Little Turtle wouldn't befriend an idiot, so if you want to meet me, you'll have to pass through the challenges I've set up!" Tree Grandmother's elusive voice reached Ye Tianfan's ears.

Seems like there's no choice; I'll have to take on the challenges. Besides, I need to find out from Tree Grandmother who turned them into such beings, neither human nor demon beast. The Turtle Shell Maiden refused to tell, so let's learn from Tree Grandmother!

So Ye Tianfan shouted toward the voice, "Alright, I'll take on the challenges. Show me what you've got! I'll take it all."

"Great, listen to the first question!" Tree Grandmother responded.

"A wolf demon beast sees a sheep demon beast; why doesn't it eat it? You have three chances. If you fail all three, then you'll fail this challenge. There are five challenges in total; if you successfully pass three, you can meet me." After speaking, Tree Grandmother fell silent.

A wolf demon beast sees a sheep demon beast; why doesn't it eat it?

What kind of question is that? Certainly, a wolf would eat a sheep unless the sheep is dead.

But that's not right either. Even if it were a dead sheep, a starving wolf demon beast would still eat it.

Or maybe the sheep demon beast is stronger than the wolf demon beast?

This answer seems quite logical.

Ye Tianfan thought this answer must be correct, so he shouted loudly, "It's because the sheep demon beast is stronger than the wolf demon beast!"

After Ye Tianfan shouted, he felt confident because he believed his answer was correct. Aside from this answer, there shouldn't be any other answers.

However, what happened next struck Ye Tianfan as he heard Tree Grandmother shout, "Wrong, this answer is incorrect, one chance is gone!"

What? How could it be wrong? This must be it; how could there be any other answer!

But soon, Ye Tianfan started thinking again; if that answer isn't right, then there has to be another answer.

What could it be?

Could it be poison?

The sheep demon beast either got poisoned or is inherently poisonous, so the wolf demon beast dares not eat it.

This idea seems even more plausible than the previous one!

Ye Tianfan felt that this must be the answer.

But just as he was about to shout it out, he suddenly realized that if this answer was also wrong, he'd only have one chance left. Although getting three answers right out of five would suffice, he didn't want to start on a bad note; he wanted a good start!

Regardless, he needed to answer this first question.

But if poison wasn't the answer, what could it be?

Ye Tianfan thought for a long time but still couldn't come up with an answer. It must be because the sheep demon beast is poisonous, without a doubt.

Ye Tianfan confidently answered, "The sheep demon beast is poisonous, either it's poisoned or inherently poisonous, so the wolf demon beast wouldn't eat it."

Ye Tianfan was already preparing for the second question.

Because he thought his solution to the first question had no issues and if it were wrong, it had to be that Tree Grandmother was purposely making things difficult for him.

But reality often contradicts one's fantasies.

"Wrong, your first answer has been incorrect twice now. You have one last chance; if you get this wrong, you will fail the first challenge."
